Mets Beat Braves 5-0

Mets Turn Attention to Finishing With .500 Record for First Time Since 2008

It had been clear for quite some time that the Mets weren't going to make the playoffs this season. On Friday night, after 154 games, it became official.

Sometime around the eighth inning of the Mets' 5-0 win over the Atlanta Braves here at Turner Field, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Milwaukee Brewers. That result eliminated the Mets from contention, ensuring that they will miss the postseason for the eighth consecutive year.
